Access Hollywood: Toy Story 3 Review

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Disney and Pixar have done it again, and in a very big way.

Ever since the release of 1995’s “Toy Story” — the computer-animated game-changer that started it all — the Northern California-based animation studio has topped itself with each passing film. That’s no small feat, given a body of work that includes “Toy Story 2” (1999), “Finding Nemo” (2003), “The Incredibles” (2004), “Ratatouille” (2007), “WALL*E” (2008) and “Up” (2009).

Now comes their 11th animated feature, “Toy Story 3,” which is not only the best “Toy Story” of them all (and that’s saying a lot), but it also continues Pixar’s extraordinary capacity for telling strong, clever and exciting stories that are filled with humor, heart and, most of all, imagination. To that extent, it’s safe to say that on a scale of one to ten, “Toy Story 3” goes to infinity — and beyond.
